    has anyone ever done this before? if so how?

    i have a 96 toyota carina e 1.6 petrol that im trying to sell at the moment.

    to be honest my head is wrecked listening to low ballers offering me 200e for the car.

    car is driving fine 4 good tyres nct'd dec 12 but the biggest bonus is its taxed till feb 13.

    im not using the car at the moment so what im thinking of doing is sending the car for export. ive sent toyotas for export before so i know what its worth to export.

    what im wondering is can i claim back the 6 months tax the car currently has?

    any help greatly appreciated!!:)

    I believe you have to scrap the car to get the tax back


    You'll get messers like that though, I got offers of €200 when selling my shogun

    How much are you advertising it for out of interest

    From citizens info:



    Refunds of motor tax
    It is possible in certain circumstances, to claim a refund of motor tax. Your application for a refund, should be made directly to you local motor tax office, on Form RF120 (pdf). Circumstances where you may claim a refund of motor tax include;

    The vehicle has been scrapped/destroyed or sent permanently out of the State,
    The vehicle has been stolen and has not been recovered by the owner,
    The vehicle has not been taken out or used in a public place at any time since the issue of the current disc,
    The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of illness, injury or other physical disability, to use the vehicle,
    The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of absence from the state for business or educational purposes, to use the vehicle,
    The owner of the vehicle has ceased, because of service overseas with the Defence Forces, to use the vehicle.
    Tax discs must be surrendered immediately as refunds are generally calculated from the first of the month following the surrender of the disc. A minimum of three unexpired whole calender months must be left on the disc when surrendered. Where a vehicle has been scrapped you will need a certificate of destruction issued by an End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) Authorised Treatment Facility.
